A pleasant enough stroll in rather dire conditions (overcast with cold westerly wind) this morning at Brockholes Quarry. Only new arrivals were a Common Sandpiper and at least one House Martin, but no sign of any Willow Warblers yet here. Indeed winter's still hanging on with Goosanders and Goldeneye on the river. Plenty of residents paired up though, including the above Pied Wagtail and Kingfisher.
